So I asked a question a few months back about my Dysport wearing off so quickly. This would have been my fourth time getting Dysport , I asked to do a little bit more than I have been. The same exact time the following day I was dizzy, vomiting and then had the worst headache. I felt like I was getting the flu, I was so sick in bed and had a migraine for atleast 3 weeks. Is this a Normal thing to happen? Would this happen if I try Botox?! What should I do to help my wrinkles?

Answer: Unlikely related to Dysport I have been injecting for years and have never heard of this happening. The most common risk is bruising from the needle stick. Sometimes a minor headache and the small risk of temporary ptosis (drooping of eyelid), which is injector dependent. I would see your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms because they do not appear to be related to the dysport injections.

Answer: Dysport Side-Effects Thanks for your question. This is a question that we get asked often by our patients. The most common SIDE-EFFECTS of toxin injections include: Swelling, Redness, and Bruising at the site of injection. Complications are rare and only temporary, but may include paralysis of other nearby muscles, temporary eyelid ptosis (dropping of eyelids, 2% risk, lasts 2-3 weeks), temporary brow ptosis (dropping of eyebrows, 2% risk, lasts 2-3 weeks), cross-eyes, ectropion or edema of the lower eyelid, dry eyes, double vision, transient headaches (10%), local numbness (lasting 2-3 weeks), flu-like symptoms, rash at the injection site, pain at the injection site, infections, and bruising (need to avoid blood thinning medications). Cold compresses may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling only if needed. This may be applied for 3 minutes, 3 times per day, for up to 3 days. This is best done with a bag of peas in a zip lock bag. Only apply light pressure to the area. Only take Tylenol if you get a headache or migraine.
